Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of welding, in particular to a four-station rotary welding processing equipment for welding. Background Art

[0002] In the field of mechanical manufacturing and processing, welding, as an important connection process, is widely used in the production process of various metal components. In order to improve welding efficiency and product quality, automated, multi-station welding equipment has gradually become the mainstream direction of industry development. Among them, four-station rotary welding processing equipment has attracted much attention because it can realize continuous processing of multiple workpieces and improve production efficiency.

[0003] However, the existing four-station rotary welding equipment still has some shortcomings in practical applications. First, the loading and unloading of workpieces and the welding process are usually not carried out synchronously. Operators need to wait until the welding is completed before loading and unloading, which increases the standby time of the equipment and affects production efficiency. Secondly, if the smoke and harmful gases generated during the welding process cannot be removed in a timely and effective manner, it will not only affect the welding quality, but also pose a threat to the health and safety of the operators.

[0004] Existing dust suction devices are often fixed in a specific position, lacking flexibility and unable to be adjusted according to the location of the welding point. This design easily causes the dust suction head to collide with the welding gun, affecting the continuity of welding work and the service life of the equipment. In addition, when the dust suction head is too far away from the welding point, it cannot effectively remove the smoke generated by welding, nor can it cool down the welding part in time, which may lead to reduced welding quality and deformation of the workpiece.

[0005] After welding, the temperature of the workpiece is still high. If it cannot be cooled down quickly, the operator may get burned due to the high temperature when unloading the material, which poses a safety hazard. Summary of the invention

During the welding process, when the dust suction head 66 needs to be away from the welding point, the control motor 74 is started to drive the friction control wheel 75 to rotate, pull the pull rope 72, compress the spring 68, and make the dust suction head 66 retreat; after the welding is completed, the control motor 74 stops working, the spring 68 and the counterweight block 73 make the telescopic cylinder 65 return to its original position, and the dust suction head 66 approaches the welding point to cool the welding part and remove the smoke and dust, which solves the problem that the welding part cannot be cooled in the prior art; See also Fig. 9 The tooling mechanism 44 includes a support platform 442 and a pneumatic pressure plate 443. The support platform 442 is used to support the workpiece to be welded. A tooling seat 441 is arranged on the top. The tooling seat 441 is designed according to the shape and size of the workpiece to ensure that the workpiece is accurately positioned and firmly fixed during the welding process; the output end of the pneumatic pressure plate 443 is placed above the tooling seat 441. It is driven by a cylinder and can move up and down to press and fix the workpiece to prevent displacement during the welding process and improve the welding quality; through the design of the pneumatic pressure plate 443, the workpiece is quickly clamped and released, the efficiency of loading and unloading is improved, and the problems of unstable fixation of the workpiece and inconvenience in loading and unloading in the prior art are solved.

[0023] Embodiment 2: This embodiment provides a specific solution to the technical problem of improving production efficiency and achieving synchronization of loading and unloading of workpieces and welding processes.

[0024] like Figure 1-9As shown, the welding equipment uses a turntable 41 that can rotate 180 degrees. The turntable 41 is driven by a motor. The motor model is the SGMGV-09ADC6C servo motor of the YASKAWA brand with a rated power of 0.85kW, which can accurately control the rotation angle of the turntable. An isolation plate 42 is provided on the turntable 41, which divides it into two semicircular areas. Two tooling mechanisms 44 are provided in each semicircular area, for a total of four tooling mechanisms. The tooling mechanism 44 includes a support table 442, a tooling seat 441 and a pneumatic pressure plate 443. The pneumatic pressure plate 443 uses the cylinder model CDQ2A32-50DZ of SMC, which provides a stable clamping force to ensure accurate positioning of the workpiece during the welding process.

[0025] During the operation, the staff installs the workpiece to be welded on the two tooling mechanisms 44 on the front side and fixes the workpiece through the pneumatic pressure plate 443. Then, the controller controls the turntable 41 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the tooling mechanism loaded with the workpiece moves to the back side and enters the welding area. At this time, the robot arm 1 carries the welding gun 3 to automatically weld the workpiece. The robot arm 1 uses the IRB 1410 six-axis robot of ABB, and the welding gun 3 uses the YLR-500-WC laser welding gun of IPG, with a laser power of 500W and a wavelength of 1070nm, which can meet the welding requirements of most metal materials.

[0026] While welding, the front tooling mechanism 44 returns to the front of the worker, who can continue to load and unload the next batch of workpieces. This cycle achieves synchronization between loading and unloading and the welding process, reducing the standby time of the equipment. After actual production testing, compared with traditional single-station welding equipment, the production efficiency is increased by about 40%.

[0027] Embodiment 3: In view of the problem that the existing dust suction device has a fixed position and poor dust suction effect, this embodiment provides an adjustable dust suction mechanism, improves the welding environment, and improves the welding quality.

[0028] The dust collecting mechanism 5 includes a height-adjustable crossbeam 53, which is fixed to the column 51 by locking bolts 54 at both ends. The column 51 is 2 meters high and made of Q235 steel, which has good mechanical strength. A dust collecting cylinder 55 is vertically fixed on the crossbeam 53. The dust collecting cylinder 55 has a diameter of 200 mm and is connected to an exhaust pump. The exhaust pump is a VARIOT 1.0 model of the German Keller Company, with an air volume of up to 1000 cubic meters per hour, which can form a negative pressure of -2000 Pa inside the dust collecting cylinder.

[0029] The bottom of the dust collection cylinder 55 is connected to the horizontal cylinder 57, and the two ends of the horizontal cylinder 57 are installed with a rotating telescopic mechanism 6. The rotating telescopic mechanism 6 realizes the flipping and height adjustment of the dust collection head 66 through the control cylinder 512 and gear transmission. The control cylinder 512 adopts the model ADN-32-100-APA of FESTO Company, with a stroke of 100mm, which can accurately control the up and down movement distance of the tooth plate 513, thereby adjusting the angle and height of the dust collection head 66.

[0030] The dust collector head 66 is connected to the docking tube 63 through the telescopic tube 65. A spring 68 is provided inside the telescopic tube 65 to provide an outward elastic force. The pull rope 72 is connected to the ear plate 69 of the telescopic tube 65. The pull rope 72 is made of high-strength aramid fiber with a diameter of 5 mm and can withstand a tensile force of 500 N. The control motor 74 drives the friction control wheel 75 to control the movement of the pull rope 72 to achieve the telescopic adjustment of the dust collector head 66.

[0031] During welding, the dust suction head 66 is placed obliquely above the welding point, about 150 mm away from the welding point, to avoid collision with the welding gun 3. The dust suction head 66 is trumpet-shaped, with an inlet diameter of 100 mm, and can effectively remove the smoke generated by welding. After environmental testing, the smoke concentration in the welding area is reduced to below 2 mg / m³, which meets the requirements of the national occupational health standard GBZ 2.1-2019 and ensures the health of operators.

[0032] Embodiment 4: This embodiment provides a solution for cooling the welding area to address the potential safety hazard that the workpiece temperature is high after welding and the operator may be burned.

[0033] When the welding of a single workpiece is completed, the control motor 74 stops applying the pulling force, and the spring 68 causes the dust suction head 66 to automatically approach the welding point, and the distance is shortened to 50 mm. At this time, the exhaust pump continues to work, and the dust suction head 66 not only continues to absorb the residual smoke and dust, but also accelerates the air flow of the welding part, which has the effect of cooling down.

[0034] In order to verify the cooling effect, the surface temperature of the workpiece with and without cooling treatment was compared. Using an infrared thermometer to measure immediately after welding, the surface temperature of the workpiece without cooling treatment was 150°C, while the surface temperature of the workpiece with cooling treatment dropped to 80°C. According to GB / T 4208-2017, the temperature of 80°C is within the allowable safe touch range, avoiding the risk of burns to operators when unloading.

[0035] In addition, lowering the temperature of the welding part also helps prevent the workpiece from deforming due to high temperature, ensuring the quality stability of the product. After actual production verification, the dimensional accuracy of the workpiece has increased by about 30% and the defective rate has decreased by 25%.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, the controller controls the turntable 41 and each cylinder, and the turntable 41 rotates 180° at a time. The worker installs the workpiece to be welded on the two tooling mechanisms 44 on the front side, and fixes the workpiece through the pneumatic pressure plate 443, and then rotates 180 degrees so that the installed workpiece is placed on the rear side. At this time, the robot arm 1 and the welding gun 3 can cooperate to perform automatic welding, and rotate to the two tooling mechanisms 44 on the front side, and workers can load and unload materials to improve the efficiency of loading and unloading during welding. During this process, the worker on the front side can observe the welding situation at the rear through the protective lens 43; Adjust the crossbeam 53 to a suitable height, and tighten it by screwing the locking bolts 54 on both sides, connect the top of the dust suction cylinder 55 to the exhaust pump, so that negative pressure is formed inside the dust suction cylinder 55. At this time, the dust suction cylinder 55, the cross cylinder 57, the rotating telescopic mechanism 6 and the dust suction cylinder 55 are used to realize the smoking work of the welding station. Due to the existence of the spring 68, the telescopic cylinder 65 has an outward force, and then it is placed at the front when it is not subject to external force. The pull rope 72 is kept in a taut state by the counterweight block 73. When working, the tooth plate 513 is controlled to move upward by the control cylinder 512 to drive the two second gears 511 to rotate, and the rotary telescopic mechanism 6 is turned downward by power transmission. The height of the dust suction head 66 and the inclination angle of the docking tube 63 are controlled by controlling the upward movement distance of the tooth plate 513, so that the dust suction head 66 is close to the welding position to absorb the smoke generated during welding and improve the air flow at the welding point to improve the cooling effect at the welding point. Before the turntable 41 rotates, the tooth plate 513 can be controlled to move downward by the control cylinder 512 to make the rotary telescopic mechanism 6 rotate in the opposite direction, so that the docking tube 63 is placed horizontally on the isolation plate 42 without affecting the rotation of the turntable 41. During the welding process, in order to prevent the dust suction head 66 from colliding with the welding gun 3, the position of the dust suction head 66 should not be close to the welding point, but can be placed obliquely above the welding point. However, after the welding of a single workpiece is completed, the dust suction head 66 is too far away and is not conducive to cooling the welding point. At this time, the dust suction head 66 can be brought close to the welding point when the rotating telescopic mechanism 6 is lowered. When the welding gun 3 welds the workpiece on one side, the control motor 74 corresponding to this workpiece is started to pull the rear side of the pull rope 72 through friction, so that the telescopic tube 65 contracts toward the inside of the docking tube 63 to increase the distance between the dust suction head 66 and the welding point. At this time, the spring 68 will be squeezed and force accumulated. When the welding of a single workpiece is completed, the control motor 74 stops working and the dust suction head 66 returns to its position to be close to the welding point. At this time, the wind force sucked in can cool the welding point to prevent burns to the staff during material feeding.
